The Queensland Police Union has called for an immediate end to the use of unmarked and covert speed cameras, saying they do nothing more than raise government revenue.

QPU president Ian Leavers said the "sneaky" devices did not reduce the state's road toll or stop people from speeding.

"Getting a ticket in the mail up to a month after speeding when you can barely remember even where you were back then, has no effect and is quite rightly cynically viewed as revenue raising," he told AAP in a statement on Sunday.
